Player Watch #32 Samson Ryan

[Thommo 42]

When has a debutant ever not had a single possession?

Jonathon Brown, Cam Mooney.

 

[Meteoric Rise]

He did cop a knock early and you never know what effect this had.

You only have to have watched him in the VFL to know he is a good prospect, but it was just too tough for a wafer thin 20yo out there tonight. Let him play VFL for this year and next and then see where he is. Just forget he went around tonight.

The selectors have deserved every bit of respect over recent years, but they may be getting a bit too funky with this sort of selection and also with a rdical game plan change and players now being thrown into unfamiliar positions in both grades.

Let’s get back to the basics.

This. Can we just stick to basics and get back to old fashioned pressure footy . I feel like we felt we HAD TO change when we didn't , now we are ****ed

I blame the whole telling the media phone calls his mum etc

then is buckets down with rain we didnt have the balls to bring a late chnage. It would have protected him tonight but we didnt couldnt change it. Absolutely muffed it tonight

No reflection on Samson but was sort of surprised by the selections beforehand to be honest.
They more or less omitted three forwards, Caddy, Rioli and Hugo who does play forward at times, he scored two goals.
We led inside 50s 43-42, failure to convert.
Same story for the Cats, equal inside 50s versus the Power and Lions.
Destroyed the Power and poor against the Lions.

Whos our forwardline coach? Cos hes sh*t

Not nice to single one out! All are SH#t. We have been SH#t mostly all year apart from the dogs game. I'm glad I have dementia and hope to forget last night's effort as I didn't sleep the nightmare just went on and on.

 

[THE THIN MAN]

He needed a Melway to find the ball!

Luke Darcy

 

[Grrr]

I saw more in that last Q to tell me that he is going to be a good ruckman than I have seen in Chol or CCJ. Natural palmer of the ball and knows how to move his opponent. Of course he wasn't ready, but the two above cannot ruck, so that is one small light.

You saw all that in 1 hitout for the entire match?

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

He actually looked alright before the injury

Made some nice runs, unlucky he didnt mark that ball on the lead i50 in the 1st

And I watched the VFL last week. He knows how to ruck and he can get his hand to the ball even when out of position. He may have only had one tap but he came close and evened a couple of others, against Ryder who I think is as good a ruckman in the league almost not too bad and a hell of a lot more than the other two given the amount of time he spent rucking.

 

[BF Tiger]

Still on to join the “goal with his first kick” club.

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

I missed the game, what went wrong with Sampo?

 

[SumTingWong]

Poor prick. Feel sorry for him

Will be our number 1 ruck in 2027 when Nank retires.

Didn’t do anything wrong with ball in hand.

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

Samson needs to be booked in to see a psychologist- a real good one.

 

[Dont_Argue]

Dimma and co have probably ruined this kids career. They let him down badly, pretty sad to see.

 

[living_in_syd]

If he was smart, he should have feigned an injury to give him an out to be subbed early on to save him an embarrassment on a wet night

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

Stick with him, we weren’t interested in kicking the ball forward last night

Plenty of champions have had similar first games, Watson and Ling off the top of my head
He will be fine

Does that mean he'll end up talking shit in the media?

 

[59Stanley]

Will be a very good afl footballer when he is ready.
